In the past years, we have conducted 3 stages of public consultation
for the study of further development of Tseung Kwan O. In the Stage
3 public consultation conducted in early 2004, we presented the
Concept Plan for further development of Tseung Kwan O, which defined
the land use framework for the further development areas of TKO,
particularly Town Centre South, Tiu Keng Leng and Pak Shing Kok.
During the consultation, we were pleased to receive general public
support for the Concept Plan.
Since then, we have formulated detailed land use proposals for
the further development areas of TKO on the basis of the Concept
Plan and taking account of the public views collected in the Stage
3 public consultation. We have also carried out engineering and
environmental impact assessments which demonstrated that the recommended
land use proposals are feasible and acceptable in terms of planning,
engineering, traffic, marine and environmental aspects.
A development plan for further development of Tseung Kwan O is
now formulated according to the recommended detailed land use proposals
of Tseung Kwan O. It will improve the overall design of the New
Town and help us to achieve our vision of building Tseung Kwan O
into a new town that can boast of its convenience, vibrancy, distinctive
urban design and quality living environment.
Study Findings
The study findings are now presented in the Executive
Summary of the Study. We have also produced a short
video of the new development proposals for viewing.
Way Forward
The Environmental Impact Assessment Report has been approved by EPD under the EIA Ordinance. Planning Department will make necessary amendments to the TKO Outline Zoning Plan and public views will also be sought during that statutory process.
At last, we would like to thank you for your active participation in the consultation process, which enabled the study to be satisfactorily concluded with a plan that meets the needs of the local community.
